Re: [CBQ] ballast color

["Nelson Moyer" <npmoyer@hotmail.com>]

Maybe a better questions would be, Were can I find alignment charts for (name the specific branch sections(s) you’re modeling)? The alignment charts show track plan, mileposts, water features with culverts, trestles, or bridges, elevation (so know where grades are, grade crossings, ballast type, and probably some other detail I’ve forgotten. Once you know the type of ballast, you’ll know or be able to find out the color. My guess is that it’s chatt, slag, gravel, cinders, or some combination thereof.

Hey all, 

 

Quick modeling question.  What color of ballast would you use for rural main/branch lines running in and out of Quincy 1920's - 1940's ish. 

 

Many Thanks --- TCB
